There are only two reasons: food and reproduction.
They are considered quite mysterious by humans, and due to their significant decline in numbers in recent years, they have gradually gained attention, until recently when they were included in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species.
For whale sharks, migration is inevitable, and for juvenile whale sharks, at least they have their mothers with them, so it's not a big deal.
Besides their migratory nature, whale sharks have another interesting characteristic: they are solitary creatures and have no companions in their daily lives.
Especially for male whale sharks, they have a trait: they will stay in the same area for a while and then return to the same place year after year.
Several teams of scientists have studied this phenomenon, but the results are very similar: whale sharks tend to stay in one place for several years in a row.
However, there are always exceptions. Individual cases do not apply to groups, and sometimes, cases of groups do not apply to individual cases.
A human photographer capturing images underwater accidentally captured a series of scenes showing a mother whale shark surrounded by her many babies, all clinging to her.
But there was one that was different. He swam away from the others, but followed his mother and moved around. Unless a storm came and the sea was churning violently, he could not keep his balance.
At first, it was just an ordinary shot, but the photographer who captured it suddenly became very interested in the baby whale shark.
He decided to follow the whale shark father to film, wanting to see what he would be like later. He had a feeling that this baby whale shark would be the first to leave its mother.
As expected, after following its mother through the migration route, the baby whale shark quietly left the family. By then, it was much larger than before, and its temperament was completely different.
Although whale sharks are sharks, their fighting ability is not that great. This baby whale shark is different. When he was three years old, he encountered a group of killer whales and managed to kill one of them while successfully escaping.
This incident was very unexpected and unbelievable to experts who study marine animals; how could there be such a ferocious whale shark?
Since the video was posted, this baby whale shark has received a lot of attention, and everyone is very curious about what its next step will be.
Starting from South Africa, this baby whale shark swam through many seas without ever stopping, and its journey was completely different from that of its mother whale shark.
Whale sharks mostly live in temperate and tropical waters, and they have specific environmental requirements.
This whale shark had been to the Arctic region and stayed there for a month. When it came out, there was nothing wrong with it.
Coupled with his previous fight with an orca, he exuded an incredibly domineering aura. So fierce, everyone gave him a code name: Jun (君).
